Update: davorg posts a nearly identical question above. I'd given up in frustration and posted mine before seeing his. The only value this ads is option (C) below.

spunkcell, it's time to clarify something.

When you say "I can't use CGI on this server," do you mean

A. I am not allowed to use CGI scripts, or
B. I am not allowed to use CGI.pm

People above seemed to have assumed one of these or the other, leading two vastly divergent opinions on how to address your problem.

Or do you mean

C. I am not allowed to use my own CGIs, and must use the ones that are already present.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
